To all whom it may concern: j

Be it known that I, DANIEL E. NoRRIs, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Tiona,.

in the county of Warren and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pumping Powers, of which the following is a specification.

- This invention relates to pumping powers; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof, as will be. hereinafter fully described and-pointed out in the claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompabeing arranged `to receive the journal-post C for the driving-gear C', and the socket b is arranged to receive the journal-post D, on which is journaled the crank-gear D. These journal-posts are fixed in the sockets by the set-screws b3 andZ. The driving-gear C has secured with it a small spur-gear c2. -The gear C2 meshes the gear D', and thus communicates motion from the gear C' lto the gear D. Arranged on the crank-'gear is the crank- -pin D2, and the disk E is journaled on the pin D2 and arranged with the .perforati0ns, so

that the pull-rods may be attached.

In order that the pull-rods may be connected from any direction, it is desirable that no vide the following means: The post C is 4provided with the tapered portion c, which forms the bearing-surface of the gear. A washer c is arranged on the top of thegear C2 and a screw c2 extends through this washer into the end of the post C. To adjust the post C so as to take up wear, the set-screws b3 are loosened aand the post adjusted by meansof the screw c After properly adjusted the post is fixed in adjustment by the set-screws bd. A similar construction-is used with the post D. It has the tapered surface CZ and the washer a3 and screw cl2, and these perform the functions of the tapered surface c, washer c', and screw c2.

The frame B, especially that part of the frame supporting the socket is subjected to very severe strain. As before stated, it is desirable to have the mechanism below thel disky E. I prefer, therefore, to cast the webs 'b2 integrally with the frame B, so as to thoroughly brace the socket b and with it the post D. l

Meshed with the drive-gear C is the drivepinion F. This pinion is fixed on the shaft f, and the shaft f is journaled in the boxes F- and F2. The pinion F is subjected to a great deal of wear and to reduce this as much as possible I provide the oil-cup b5, which is cast in the frame B. This oil-cup is so arranged that when filled with oil the pinion F runs in the oil and keeps it constantly lubricated.' The drive-pulley F3 is arranged on the driveshaft f. It may be driven from any convenient source of p'ower.

What I claim as new is- 1. In a pumping power the combination of a frame having a journal-post socket therein, a post in said socket having a tapered bearing portion; a gear journaled on said tapered portion; and means resting on the gear for adjusting the journal-post.

2. In a pumping power the combination of a frame having a journal-post therein, having a tapered bearing portion; a gear journaled on said tapered portion; means resting on the gear forl adjusting the journaled post; and means acting on a portion of the" post in the socket for fixing it in adjustment.

3.. In a pumping power the combination of a frame having a journal-post socket therein; a journal-post in said socket having a tapered bearing portion; a gear journaled on said tapered portion; a screw supported by said gear and extending into said journal-post and forming means for adjusting the journal-post.

. A. In a pumping power the combination of a frame having a journal-post socket therein; a journal-post in said socket having a tapered pered portion; a washer arranged on top of the socket; and a screw extending lthrough the washer into the journal-post for adjusting the journal-post.

5. In a power the Combination of a frame having the journal-post sockets b and the journalposts C and D having the tapered portions c and Z thereon respectively; a drivegear journaled on the post C; a, crank-gear journaled on the post .D and means for znljust- 1o ing said journal-posts in seid gears.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
